Using a query and then adapting it on click

I use a query in my form to bring up results:

Code:
Function BuildSQLString(strSQL As String) As Boolean
Dim strSELECT As String, strFROM As String, strWHERE As String, strCUSTOMER As String, strORDERBY As String
strSELECT = "*"
strFROM = "[mainstatic]"
strWHERE = ""
If Not IsNull(Shopnumbertxt) Then strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![Job number] = [Forms]![view job]![shopnumbertxt]"
If Not IsNull(jobstatusfilter) Then strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![Job status] = [Forms]![view job]![jobstatusfilter]"
If Not IsNull(priorityfilter) Then strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![priority] = [Forms]![view job]![priorityfilter]"
If Not IsNull(datestarttxt) Then strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![Date Issued] >= [Forms]![view job]![datestarttxt]"
If Not IsNull(enddatetxt) Then strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![Date Issued] <= [Forms]![view job]![enddatetxt]"
strCUSTOMER = ""
If aramiskacheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "aramiska" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If bespokecheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "bespoke" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If btcheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "bt" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If coralcheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "coral" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If kingstoncheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "Kingston" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If mducheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "mdu" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If pipexcheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "pipex" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If patientlinecheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "patientline" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If residentialcheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "residential" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If sportstvcheck = True Then strCUSTOMER = strCUSTOMER & Chr(34) & "sports tv" & Chr(34) & " Or [mainstatic]![contract] ="
If strCUSTOMER <> "" Then
strCUSTOMER = Left$(strCUSTOMER, Len(strCUSTOMER) - 28)
strWHERE = strWHERE & " And [mainstatic]![Customer]=" & strCUSTOMER
Else
strWHERE = strWHERE
End If
strSQL = "SELECT" & strSELECT
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM " & strFROM
If strWHERE <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE " & Mid$(strWHERE, 6)
strORDERBY = ""
If strORDERBY <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY" & strORDERBY
BuildSQLString = True
End Function


And on the change of a dropdown or the click of a button I call

Code:
Dim strSQL As String
If Not BuildSQLString(strSQL) Then
MsgBox "There was a problem building the SQL string"
Exit Sub
End If
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryshopSelect").SQL = strSQL
RefreshDatabaseWindow
Me.Form.RecordSource = "qryshopselect"
Me.Refresh


This just updates the form to run the query again using the new variables.

What I would like Is to have an image that when clicked sorts the fields using the current SQL query and adding a ORDER BY to the end... Is that possible?

If no one knows then does anyone know how to use images and give them values like a checkbox or something, like true / false?? Many thanks,
pete.

Place an image on your form and then look at what events are available to you. There is an On Click event for both image frames and OLE unbound frames. I don't understand the question of giving the image a value of true or false or for what purpose, but I am sure you can get the ORDER BY clause added to the sql that can be triggered when the user clicks on the image.
